Peter Tork at various celebrity charity softball games, circa 1975, 1976, and 1977.

Photo 2 courtesy of David Jolliffe/davidjolliffe dot com; Jolliffe captioned the photo with: “Norm Jacobovitz, David Jolliffe, Jerry Hauser, David Cassidy, Randy Foote, Bill Mumy, (Bottom left) Toni Tennile, Peter Tork, Kay Lenz, Mark Hudson“

Photo 3 was published in Spec, February 1975 (via Pinterest), and shows (per the magazine’s caption) Lamont (Fifth Dimension), David Jolliffe, Keith Allison, Mark Volman, Alice Cooper, Albert Books, Neko and John Cholis, Bob Brown, Peter, Bruce Kirby, Jr.

Continued on from yesterday's post...

The following news blurb seems to refer to the top photo’s event:

“Disc jockey Charlie Tuna will lead the radio station team in a softball game against the celebrity team. Each side will be composed of personalities from radio, television, music and motion picture industries. Three of the celebrities will be Kay Lenz, star of an upcoming movie, ‘Cat House Thursday,’ Judy Norton, actress from ‘The Waltons,’ and Peter Tork, formerly of the Monkees.” - News-Pilot, September 16, 1976

“It turned into an informal softball league that raised a little money. We got good press and everybody loved it. We had a great Hollywood Vampires softball shirt and cap with a big V on it…It was Alice and myself with Peter Tork as our pitcher. He was very good.” - Micky Dolenz, Goldmine, 2020

“[We would go to] schools and camps for underprivileged kids and we’d play softball. That’s how it started. And Alice [Cooper] came up with the name [Hollywood Vampires], of course.’ They even had their own team jerseys with big red V’s. ‘Alice tended to be the pitcher,’ [Micky] Dolenz says. ‘Peter Tork, who was probably the best baseball player on the team, he would play left field. I was not that great. I would play first base, usually.’” - Arizona Republic, September 26, 2021

Another throwback to the ‘60s: “Out in the parking lot [at RCA during a Jefferson Airplane session] Peter Tork was playing baseball with the sound technicians.” - Chris Franz (class of ‘69), Wellesley News, November 9, 1967

Some misc. fun headcanons I made for some of DIO's minor minions. There isn't a ton of info on some of these guys, so I tried my best. And if there's interest, I'll try to write more for the rest of the villain group. Requested by @mepha-stop-it-please :)

🧞 Cameo - He claims he once encountered a real genie, but didn't believe they were real at the time and ended up wasting his wish on just a free cup of tea. He's surprisingly well-read, and knows the most cutting and elegant insults in at least twelve languages.

🚗 Z.Z. - He is a huge fan of horror-action films, some of his favourites being Christine (his personal inspiration) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

💛 Rubber Soul - Has used his Stand to help him in bodybuilding competitions, but still won 2nd place every single time, a source of great bitterness for him. Keeps a journal of the unusual things he's eaten around the world, some of which would haunt even the strongest-stomached gourmand.

☀️ Arabia Fats - Though heat makes him uncomfortable, his skin is unbothered by it. He can walk barefoot across fire, hot sand, coals or concrete without even a red mark. However, his main hobby is vinyl record collecting - something he has to be very cautious using his Stand around.

��� Captain Tennille - He's actually a fairly talented musician, and taught himself to play the mandolin and piano. He also knows a pretty extensive collection of ghost stories that he will tell to any who bring them up.

🪰 Gray Fly - He listens to late-night conspiracy talk shows while he makes keepsakes from his victims in his gloomy, dark apartment. He has also befriended the roaches and beetles in his building, and even made a little miniature circus set for them. He seems like he would enjoy the X-Files, but would root for the aliens.

Happy STS! As the pre-Valentine's Day ask, what are your characters' plans for the holiday-- if any? Date night? House party? Pj's and ramen?

Happy STS! I've got a long list of OC couples but I'm putting in the ones I've focused on in Transcendants

• Cora x Keagen – A quiet night under the stars, maybe with a picnic and deep conversations.

• Levi x Ivan – Ivan isn’t big on the holiday, but Levi surprises him with a cozy, home-cooked meal. It’s simple, but the thought behind it makes Ivan smile.

• Harry x Jackson – Harry drags Jackson on an adrenaline-filled adventure, maybe skydiving or something equally chaotic. Jackson pretends to complain, but he loves every second.

• Sawyer x Ethan – A laid-back beach day, soaking up the sun and relaxing.

• Luz x Amity – Probably a magical-themed date with enchanted roses and floating lanterns.

• Hunter x Willow – A heartwarming picnic in a garden, surrounded by nature.

• Ivory x Petra x Marcus – A road trip full of spontaneous stops and adventure.

• Evander x Calliope – A masquerade ball where they dance until sunrise.

• Violet x Xaden – A moonlit picnic with deep conversations and shared dreams.

• Blu x Venus – A creative, artsy date where they paint each other’s portraits.

• Obadiah x Estelle – A warm, rustic cabin getaway in the mountains.

• Noel x Pablo – A playful, energetic date at a roller-skating rink.

• Gideon x Jubilee – A surprise trip to a flower-filled valley.

• Shiloh x Silvanna – A sweet, romantic scavenger hunt leading to a surprise gift.

• Anastasia x Chance – A dramatic, passionate date that could be mistaken for a romance novel.

• Avalon x Cliff – A cozy, candlelit dinner with lots of laughter.

• Avaline x Rameses – A grand, extravagant celebration with music and dancing.

Each couple has their own style- some love big gestures, others prefer quiet moments, but they all make it a special day!

Does Haru (your JoJo oc) have a stand?

Yes :D

Her stand is under the moon arcana (I literally vetoed Imposter: Captain Tennille and he's outta here, stand just left him lolol) and is the depiction of a water dragon spirit! Like Haku for spitited away, pretty similar looks ٩(˘◡˘)۶

I haven't given it a proper name yet that fits it (since im pretty sure i read a fic where the name already existed, so i might keep the arcanas already existing name from Tennille)

Maybe I should do a descriptiion post soon on it? Maybe. But thank you! ( ｡ˇ艸ˇ)

Agents of DIO factions - Jojo headcanons

This is a spiritual sequel to this post I made two months ago:

This is basically factions within the agents of DIO. Like while they have Stands that belong to the Major Arcana, the Ennead, or just named after music. But much like the servants living at DIO's mansion, they aren't bound to these categories, instead they are given roles based on their skills and abilities.

Here's what each person's role or roles is based on what I've seen, read, and/or speculated, as well as throw in some of my headcanons:

Leader - DIO

Second-in-command - Enyaba - Enrico Pucci (protégé)

Money launderers - Daniel J. D'Arby (Giza Cafe by the Pyramids) - Murphy* (semi-casual Resto bar in Downtown Cairo) - Madam Sharona* ("bathhouse" in Wagh El Birket, Cairo)

Associates - Mansaku Nijimura​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ - Yoshihiro Kira - Giza cafe employees and customers - "The boss"

"Clean up" crew - Steely Dan - Eris Raitt*

"DIO's Angels" - Mariah (Leader) - Midler - Medea King* - Eris Raitt* (formally) - Nena (formally)

Assassins - Noriaki Kakyoin (new recruit) - Jean Pierre Polnareff (new recruit) - Gray Fly - Imposter Captain Tennille - Forever - Devo the Cursed - Rubber Soul - J. Geil - Hol Horse - Nena - ZZ - Steely Dan - Arabia Fats - Mannish Boy (new recruit) - Cameo - Midler - N'Doul - Oingo - Boingo - Anubis - Mariah - Eris Raitt* - Johngalli A. - Dija Maker**

House servants - Telence T. D'Arby (bulter) - Medea King* (maid) (new recruit) - Vanilla Ice (servant) - Kenny G (illusionist) - Nukesaku (servant) - Pet Shop (gatekeeper)

Dollar Bin #36:

Love Has No Pride

My local record store is hard at work purging $5 titles from table top bins and dooming them to the higgeldy piggeldy Dollar Bins beneath. Are you longing for some Neil Diamond or Captain and Tennille? Well, you're in luck: you can seize their entire 70's catalogs for 93 pre-tax cents a piece. I've passed altogether on both artists so far, but who knows, maybe one day I'll discover that corpulent dogs, medalions and chest hair are the keys to great music.

I got gleefully down on my knees last week and combed through it all, emerging with 15 titles for 15 bucks. Here's the hoard:

Will I ever actually listen to Melanie's first record or Linda Ronstadt wingman Andrew Gold's attempt at a solo album? Maybe? Will I make good on my long ago promise to listen to an unmelted version of Art Garfunkel's Watermark? Someday.

I did listen to Poco's first record, which you can see above, with some anticipation: my famous brother recently recommended it as, basically, another Buffalo Springfield record. But when my eldest daughter asked me to please turn it the hell off I eagerly complied. It sounded more than un poco terrible.

But the treasure, so far, from this latest Dollar Bin haul are three Bonnie Raitt records from the 70's.

Raitt's Nick of Time was a big deal when I first discovered as a kid that VH1 was often less terrifying than MTV. And so I developed an early bias against Bonnie that still lingers. She didn't look like Janet Jackson or sing Tom Petty; plus I was uncomfortable with a lady having some gray hair while rocking the blues: 13 years old boys can be sexist little brats.

But I'm a guy who likes to second guess my biases, and so when I came upon her titles last week in the Dollar bin I remembered that Raitt is friends with Ronstadt and I know have more gray hair than Raitt. And so, I figured, what the hell did I have to lose for 93 cents?

And that brings us to today's topic: Eric Kaz's 70's torch song Love Has No Pride. Is it an essential piece of the 70's musical expression? Probably not. The song's a bit overwrought and features some regrettable nonsense about wishing you could buy your beloved's affections; either Kaz wasn't familiar with the song and/or concept Can't Buy Me Love, which seems pretty damn unlikely, or he wished his lady in question would give up her day job and become a woman of ill repute, which is hopefully not the deal, or he just ran out of things to say and grabbed at something silly.

For what it's worth, if you are gonna involve female sex workers in your music I recommend you either get weird and have them bend down to tie the laces of your shoe or go full Ringo and call them women of the night with a big silly grin.

Even so, Love Has No Pride clearly resonated with the record buying public in the early 70's as Raitt, Ronstadt and then Rita Coolidge each issued complimentary versions of the track between 71 and 74. Let's consider them in reverse chronological order, beginning with Coolidge's effort on what may be her best record, Fall Into Spring.

I want to start with Rita, whose records unfairly clog up many a Dollar Bin, because her version of Love Has No Pride is surely why the song dwells in my bones. Coolidge was in my extended family when I was born as she and Kris Kristofferson were still married and Kris, as you can read elsewhere, is my mother's cousin. And so I grew up utterly familiar with Rita's smokey smolder of a voice from my mom's 8 tracks and country radio.

I have no memory of ever actually meeting her, and I doubt I ever did. I was surely left with a babysitter on the rare occasion when my folks hung out with Kris and Rita because, after all, drunken debauchery, which was the performers' calling card, doesn't mix well with babies, especially homely looking ones. And I was mighty homely.

Anyway, take a listen to Rita's version: it's stately and elegant; nothing is forced and nothing is too complicated.

Nice huh? Coolidge consistently drags at the pace, indifferent to anyone who could ever rush her. And by the end we need reminders that she's got an ace band around her: everything in this song centers on Rita and we can't blame the cat on the cover for trying to claim her full attention.

It was a pretty gutsy move on Coolidge's part to record the track; after all, two years earlier Linda Ronstadt had ignored its torch song potential and instead lit up an entire barn. Listen to her throw everything at the tune: we've got back up singers, galloping percussion, 16 different guitar sounds, emerging strings and, at the center of it all, like a detonating star, her own titanic voice.

Ronstadt is one of my favorite singers of all time, and her take on Love Has No Pride is always welcome on my turntable. That said, I prefer Coolidge's slower, simpler arrangement, and I suspect Linda did too. After putting out her version of Love Has No Pride Linda let go of female backing choirs altogether and let a new producer, Peter Asher, help her streamline her arrangements in honor of her voice and solo gesture.

And so, now you know: Rita's take came through the bars of my crib and my own kids grew up with Linda's.

But The Dollar Bin is a mighty force, and it holds many secrets. And, until this last week, Raitt's original take from 71 was one of them.

And maybe, just maybe, her version is the best of the bunch:

Raitt sings the song so simply. Barns don't catch fire, torches are not lit. Instead we've got sweet picking, gurgling bass and a brave woman giving us some straight talk about how she feels and who she loves.

Wow. Bonnie Raitt, people! I'll race you back to those Dollar Bins; looks like it's time to track down the rest of her 70's catalog.

Oooh I'd love to see you do Stand analysis for Metallica, Ebony Devil and Dark Blue Moon 👀 the Yellow Temperance one was so spot on

i can do my best!

Metallica:

Ok, so I rememeber I once did a little breakdown of all of la squdra for my groupchat but I have no idea where all that text went so-

Right off the bat, looking at risottos wiki page, I want to say that metallica is representative of risottos courruption of character after the death of his cousin. His life is characterized by a severe internal change in person, and thus his stand enbodies the ability of transforming an internal element and damaging a person from the inside. It also reflects his methodical, tactical, and cold demure, being able to summon an inorganic, lethal attack from vantage point that leaves the target completely helpless, essentially fighting against their own bodies. Helplessness is a big factor as to why its a stand that manifests internally, and why risotto of all people has it.

Ebony devil:

Spite and hatred manifest, from someone with a sadistic, sociopathic streak. I think the first run stand users had the clearest and easiest to understand abilities because they were characterized by the tarot cards they were named after. Much like the devil card, it's commonly interpreted as a sort of grim and unhealthy pride like megalomania, and thus his stand is very self-centered in its methods and abilities. The fact that you have to attack devo first, and you feel his presence in whatever mundane object/objects he chooses to "curse" you with, the fact that the "curse" makes it seem like a sort of divine punishment, the fact that he chooses to seek people out and goad them into attack them just to punish them for his own instigating actions. It's a person that's stuck in their own head and thinks everything around him is the problem, but never himself.

Dark blue moon:

Also another more clear cut one since the moon is a pretty easy card to read. Tennille's stand bio states right off the bat that it's reminiscent of secrecy and unknown depths, which fits his aqua abilities perfectly. But as for him, and why he has this, I think the moon is metaphorical for a person that revels in an unfair, unbalanced fight; depth in the sense of underhand tactics. the embodiment of "taking advantage of someone/ a situation."

[cirque-dhomosexual]

Random Cindy headcanons (ft. Some others) I plan on touching on in my upcoming fic:

Cind is a raging hopeless romantic!

her fave movie was casablanca

Tommy loved 2001: space odyssey

She loves the Beatles, ABBA, and Queen (But wouldn't say it out loud) She would, however, talk about Barry Manilow, Olivia Newton-John, and Captain and Tennille

She had a huge alien/space phase

Her + Alice broke into their school to use a telescope

SHE IS PUERTO RICAN/ BRAZILIAN ON HER MOM'S SIDE!!!! LATINA CINDY FOR THE WIN! (lDC If this me projecting as a Lesbian Latina. In my heart and soul this is a canon/factual statement.)

She's a horror buff! She was the one to talk to get Ziggy into it. She would have read ziggy horror books as a bedtime story and let her sleep in her bed if she ever got scared. But since her dad left, she hasn't had the time to read.

She prefers books but loves movies too

She loved reading select Stephan King books, Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, Anything by Shirley Jackson, Dracula by Bram Stoker, and the exorcist by William Peter Blatty. Even Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu!

She's not a huge fan of zombies

On Carmilla, she read it in her library but found out about it by listenining to the CBC radio novella. She didn't check out the book (for obvious reasons) but after fighting herself for ages she reads it and she does so like she's trying to smuggle in contraband. She was so jumpy and for no reason bc literally no one else around her knew about it or it being queer.

Outside of horror, she loved reading romance

She cannot skate. Not at all. She tries and she went on a skate date with Tommy but she can't stay up longer than 2 whole seconds

Alice was the one that introduced her to comics. She pretends she's never read a comic but she's quite the fan of the x-men and wonder woman. She has tried to enter the comic shop in a disguise but people do recognize her.

She's a closeted trekkie

She does end up shoving these interests to the side so she can have her "perfect life" that a girl her age should have but I doubt she stops loving her nerdy shit.

[Written on Monday/15th. Feeling slightly better now, but the facts still hold true.]

(So...for the past few days, I have been browsing Netflix for...children's cartoon animation movies to (re-)watch.

Today, I came across something called..."Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank"?

(which, by the way, I thought was a comic/cartoon-adapted movie, but apparently it's an original one)

[This thing. Don't know what image to attach, so here is the thumbnail of the trailer.]

Like a mature adult, I decided to watch it.

And, like a definitely non-weeb (and because it's available, otherwise it would be very hard to find), I decided to watch it in Japanese.

The first voice I 100% recognised was Jimbo's: Tesshō Genda （玄田哲章） [Younger Toguro, Sengoku Basara's Takeda, City Hunter's Umibozu] (Samuel L Jackson in the original voice, by the way). Which...okay, I know Genda-san does dubs. He's the voice of Foghorn Leghorn, after all. His voice is very iconic, too. You can't miss it when he does a "battle cry" thingie (maybe it's because I first knew him as Toguro).

But the second one I kinda recognised was Ika Chu's (yes that's the character's name apparently), and I was like:

"Wait, is that Tomokazu Sugita （杉田智和）???" [Gintoki Sakata, Kyon, Escanor, Joseph Joestar and much more]

And I immediately thought: "No way, Sugita doesn't do dubs..."

"But I also cannot not recognise that voice, his voice is very iconic too (and I have known him for a considerable number of roles, starting from Gintoki)."

After the movie, I checked the (Japanese) Wikipedia page, and literally did Joseph's "Naisu!" pose:

It really is Tomokazu Sugita.

And, to add on Sugita's role as Joseph Joestar: Apparently Hank's voice is Yū Hayashi （林勇）, who voices Smokey Brown.

Not gonna lie, I somehow found that very funny.

"NIGERUNDAYO, SMOKEY!!!!!"

There are also apparently other (JoJo) casts, like Tomokazu Seki （関智一） [Enrico Pucci] and Junichi Suwabe （諏訪部順一） [Leone Abbacchio/Younger D'Arby], who voice Chuck and Ichirou respectively. But I couldn't recognise them while I was watching (probably because they are using some silly voices, instead of the ones you hear shouting "Whitesnake!!!" or "Moody Blues!!!")

And of course, Tesshō Genda voices Impostor Captain Tennille/Dark Blue Moon from Stardust Crusaders...if you remember who that is.

(the "Onii-chan!" guy if that helps)

Also also, I may write another entry about this later on...but I would like to meet whoever decided to hire Akio fucking Ōtsuka （大塚明夫） [Wamuu, All For One, Uvogin, Saint Seiya's Hades] to voice Jimmy Crystal.)

[Shits and giggles end here. Much more personal stuff below.]

Maybe because I am still a student, I divide periods of my life into school years (instead of...you know, "real years").

Truth be told: This school year has been very bad for me.

Not because something bad happened (not something sudden and catastrophic), but because...nothing happened. I did nothing...outside school.

(Well, I had an internship interview during my very bad time in January, which was my first "job interview", and which was also my first unsuccessful "job interview").

And school is so super damn busy and stressful, that it is hard to do anything outside school.

I mentioned in my last...personal post, that I have been feeling mood swings. Some days are better (which are the days you see me liking and sharing posts, such as mid-February to early-March), and some days are absolutely bad (which are the days you don't see me at all).

Such as now. The reason why I am watching random stupid shit on Netflix is because, otherwise, I would be lying on my bed doing nothing. So I might as well be lying on my bed doing something. I can't sleep, because I have been sleeping too much already. I did try reading too, but I guess my mind is a bit too exhausted/overwhelmed to do that.

(I know I also should be spending at least some time socialising (a massive sorry to all my Discord server-mate seeing this), which is a "how to feel better" self-help tip I see in every single article. But whenever I am feeling bad, I just tend to...disappear. I know I should stop doing that, and I have been saying I will stop doing that. Sorry.)

Honestly, I shouldn't even be watching something on a Monday (it's my day off, but it's still a weekday, and I still have homework to do). I did go to school (to get out of home, at least), but I really had no energy to work today.

Okay, I actually have no energy nor interest to do...anything at all. I know it's waterfowl breeding season soon, and I haven't been to a park in...months. Which is definitely a sign that something is wrong with me.

This "on-and-off but constantly feeling bad on average" pattern reminds me of another past school year. A year I still dread and regret whenever I think about it.

Moreover, now that the Undertale cringe is one-year-old, I have successfully failed to create anything for a year.

Which is not ideal, and I have been saying this since last summer vacation. Because things have not been okay since then. My WIPs are becoming four years old.

I also didn't do any "active" stuff at all since school started, like gaming. My Brok the InvestiGator progress is still around 50%, so I have been dodging spoilers like mad. I tried to mod and play Skyrim a bit, but no big progress whatsoever (Vilja is still waiting for me to complete her quest). I know DD2 just dropped last month, but I haven't even bought it yet.

The only things I have done were "passive" things like watching shows/movies and reading fics. And sometimes even those stopped, when I am feeling really bad.

The reason why I am writing this is because "writing your feelings down" is another "how to feel better" self-help tip I see in every single article. I used to keep a diary where I did exactly this every day, but the habit sort of...faded away (during the aforementioned bad past school year, probably because I was too sad to write down how sad I was every day).

I don't have a cool/motivational ending to this, so I will just end it abruptly here.
